SIBI-P1 H2885-05
the signet-rings
| Root | טבע (ṭ-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | to sink, to immerse, to imprint, to stamp, to embed |
| Semantic Range | signet-ring, sealing ring, ornamental ring, ring used for fastening or attaching (e.g., in tabernacle furnishings) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical culture, signet-rings symbolized authority, identity, and covenantal legitimacy, since they bore an imprint that authenticated documents or ownership. The connection to "impressing" underscores the idea of authorized marking and binding commitment. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine plural absolute with definite article (הַ־). The base singular is טַבַּעַת (feminine); here it appears in the plural absolute form טַבָּעוֹת with prefixed definite article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun טַבַּעַת derives from the root טבע, "to sink" or "to imprint," referring to something pressed or embedded—especially a seal impressed into wax or clay. "The signet-rings" preserves both the core idea of imprinting and the definite feminine plural form (Ncfpa) indicated by the morphology. |
